It’s happened to the best of us. The flirty text banter that used to cause a surge of adrenaline has become pedestrian. And pretty soon “How was your day?” becomes “How was your week?”
Or perhaps they initiate a text conversation and tell you what they’re up to, but never actually ask you out.
Fortunately, all it takes is one small shift to turn it all around . . .

Matt and I did a podcast this week decoding your most confusing texts (from our Facebook and Instagram followers).
And one of the crazy plot twists was: some of the most popular ones weren’t all that confusing.
Sure, there were some classics we did take time to decode, like:
(Go and listen to the full episode on iTunes or Spotify if you want to hear us analyse this text and much more!)
Or there were the kind of texts that sound like a cheesy line from a movie, or as I now dub them, “failed screenplay texts”:
Yep, those are kind of confusing.
But then there were texts that were just honest. Weirdly, boldly, stupidly honest:
Is this a weird text? Yes.
Is it fastidiously rational to the point where you might wonder if he thinks you’re some kind of pre-programmed sex robot that he can schedule in a Google calendar along with his other meticulously psychopathic weekly plans? Yes.
But is it CONFUSING? Actually, no.
Same as this one:
This one is simple as can be. It just means: I have priorities that come before you.
It’s someone telling you exactly where you stand to them early on. It’s someone telling you to keep the bar set low, and never expect anything more. It’s someone telling you exactly who they are.
In a weird way, we should be grateful when someone lays it out so clearly that we shouldn’t waste our time in such an efficient text!
Take this other mind-melting message for example:
Yep, I know. Sorry you had to read that one.
Is it insane someone sent this text and thought it would be ok (without some lengthy unorthodox prior arrangement)? Errr, yes.
Does it make you want to slap your hand across your forehead, and consider melting your phone in a vat of hot acid in order to scrub dating apps (and texting entirely) from your life in the most dramatic fashion possible? Sure
But is it CONFUSING? Actually, no.
There’s nothing to decipher here. The actual reasons behind the matter…don’t matter.
It’s just someone telling you how shitty they are (and people will do that, if we only listen). Ok. Thanks for the information. Goodbye.
It’s not the WHY that matters. It’s what YOU’RE going to do about it.
This week, my brother Stephen and I answer the question, “Is it possible to ‘blow it’ with the right person?” and share how you can turn self-loathing into a better relationship with yourself (and your future partner) . . .

People think they want a relationship with a successful millionaire entrepreneur. Or a celebrity. Or an artistic genius. Or a health freak. Or someone who looks like an Instagram model.
But they never ask: What is the cost?

Sometimes we avoid speaking up about what we really want with a person because we’re afraid we will “make waves” in the relationship.
So we ignore the conversation and silently suffer.
If this is you, this video is for you . . .

When we meet someone we like, it’s human nature for our imaginations to run wild. No sooner have we been on a great date than we start assessing where things could go and all of the ways this person could be the one.
Avoid this mistake, me ol’ mate! Watch the new video now . . .

Do you feel you’re holding yourself back in life?
Do you avoid taking risks with people you’re attracted to? Do you find yourself shying away from new things in life, new experiences, new possibilities?
The truth is, we can waste our entire lives holding ourselves back from the life we could have and becoming the person we want to be.
This week’s video will save you from that fate . . .

I believe in talking about ideas that matter and can help people lead better lives. It’s hard for me to think of anything that fits that description more than the issues this video deals with.
I’ve done my best, but I know it won’t be perfect. It’s not meant to be. I just want to begin the conversation in our community. I look forward to learning more from all of you as I go . . .
